Read, read, read.

Since you already have Bionix on there, Boot into recovery (hit power softly and then hit recovery), go to Backup/restore and Back it up (Nandroid). This will snapshot your ROM at this moment in time, apps, data, sms,... If you are wanting to flash ICS and then restore some of those apps then download Titanium Backup from the market and you can back them up that way.

Nandroid = Full back up incase somethign goes terribly wrong

Titanium = Will back up apps and their data.

Check my signature for how to install ICS. It has all the links to the files you need. Use that and the video and watch the video a few times to get a feel how it works with what I posted.

Good luck.
[Vibrant General] stupidpig07:
Thanks for the great video. Followed it and installed Passion, and I love my Vibrant once again. :)

Who, me? I have Nero V3, probably ancient on these forums lol but I just didnt wanna mess with it and run into any problems. Its just not the whole thing is unbearable and something needs to be changed. Thanks for the advice, will follow it and let you know if things start blowing up on me =)
[Vibrant General] Woody:
My bad. Saw Team Whiskey and automatically thought Bionix. Good luck and happy flashing.

Please Help need to restore my sd, sms, pics all downloads

I am really new to this and just wanted to tether for my galaxy tab. I installed ICS 11 and now, I can't find my pics and texts etc... please help I did back up but i don't know how to restore them. what should I do? I'm panicking
[Vibrant General] phone_noobie:
ok so while trying to do the nandriod backup, I'm recieving this error when doing the backup in CWM, Error says E:Can't mount /sdcard. I don't have an sd card, just the internal one, I need an external sd card to run that backup?

Edit: So I saw people mentioning that through ROM manager, you can save it internally. Initially i tried it and it rebooted and stuff and took me back to CWM interface so i thought it didnt. Then I went into the CWM folder and saw its sitting there and its about 40 MB which I assume would be a safe bet that it did do a full backup of my ROM.
[Vibrant General] MJHawaii:
No network service after flashing any idea why?
[Vibrant General] phone_noobie:
Im not sure how it is on sprint (I assume thats what youre one) but here in Canada, I had to go into Wireless and Network>Mobile Networks>Access Point names. In there I had to manually type my wap and mms ones. maybe you need to do something similar? Just speculating here
[Vibrant General] phone_noobie:
ok in some problem here. So apparently CWM cannot see the internal sd card? Following the steps, when he says to click on choose zip from sd card, im getting the same E:can't mount /mnt/sdcard error. What do I do from here? Im kinda stuck since Ive already deleted the data and stuff and Im assuming it cleaned my downloads folder as well?

Edit: ok so i went in and I see all the folder in the internal sd card are still there. My downloads folder is there but the damn CWM does not want to even look at it and keeps giving me the same cant mount error. So now I can't go forward or back. I cannot restore or go into the downloads folder to carry the steps from there. How do I go about this now? Really stuck here
[Vibrant General] Drewbladez:
Got CWM on here but it won't open my download file on my SD card

as the title says. Everythings gone good so far but CMW will not open the DL file on my SD card to flash cm7 :?

I'm trying Indirect's rooting scripts, running Windows Vista 64-bit. I can get the drivers installed with no problem, and get my Tab into debugging mode just fine. However, when I go to run nookandzergy.bat, I get this:

Any ideas or help?

Thanks!

P.S. I tried posting in the main thread, but it says I have to have more then 10 posts... I think this makes 12. I usually lurk, can you tell? ;)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] spyd312:
By any chance, did you right click the batch file and selected "Run as Administrator?" If so, try to just double click the batch file. That's what I ended up having to do for my Win7.

In nAa miniCM SE backup&restore not working and photo widget loading error.

Highly thankful to you if you will suggest that ROM. And how to overcome these errors in above mentioned roms ?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fifo171:
if you want xperia themed rom, try GingerCrutz 8.5, but it can run only on nAa kernel + it doesn't support wifi hotspot

dualtouch and oc are in nAa kernel

:)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bravia4X8:

Otherwise I will use Gingercruzt 8.5 as you suggested to me.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirmada:

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bravia4X8:
I have already asked about GingerXperia Vs GingerCruzt. And what about stornmix..? Will this fulfill my all requirements ?

Thanks.

Also gingerXperia v21 has two version i.e. V21 and V21b which is better ?

4 working timescape - YES

5 walkman app - YES

14 and many more whick should be in Xperia ROM. - YES? perhaps what you mean by "which should be in xperia rom" ;)

Hi. Sorry if i open similar topic, but I'm new member and i can't post in development forum. I have a defy red lens. last month I installed motoginger 2, but it is for lens green and I would like to take full advantage of my terminal. I tried to install the 2.1 ms2ginger lens red,only wipe cache and dalvik cache and restore system only, but the phone hangs on M. So I restored motoginger. How do I install the ms2ginger red lens without changing kernel?
[Defy General] droid_<3er:
Well, what you should do is this:

wipe data and cache

wipe dalvik

advance restore system

restore data

restore boot

restore devtree

restore recovery

I don't know about the kernel update, because I already have a gingerbread kernel.

Good luck.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithabi:
Hi Guys, got a bit of a problem!

I've connected my SGS II to my car stereo vis 3.5mm jack. The music will play fine through the stereo, then suddenly the music disappears. It is still playing on the player but no sound is played. i've tried various media players (stock, power amp, mixzing, player pro)same thing on all of them. tried flight mode. Same thing. Its totally random, music can last 20mins or 20 seconds before it goes off. Anyone got any ideas or had a similar problem??

Thanks, Keith....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digi_fort:
Does it happen when your phone goes of to sleep ? Try using a car dock and then testing the same if the phone is docked and music is not disrupted

Good morning! I have soft bricked my phone while trying to reflash the webtop image file using moto-fastboot.

This is what happened:

I won a lapdock and flashed NFHimselfs gobstopper 2.3.4 which was working well. I couldn;t access the browser on it though and was told that by reflashing the webtop img file from the gobstopper...via moto-fastboot, that that may take care of it. I tried to do that and everything seemed to go well and was successful until I went to reboot and got the error:

Failed to boot 4

Starting RSD mode.

I am on Bell and I did not erase the prior webtop img. I have never soft bricked my phone and don't ever recall seeing this before on any forums. please help if you can! I am very stressed out about it.

Edit: I found a thread regarding this issue and reflashed the pudding and it worked. Sorry for the thread. Mods please feel free to delete or lock.

Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] vassilyk:
Hey guys, I was wondering, what is the process to have a Xoom2 / Xyboard forum opened?
[General Questions and Answers] got556:
I'm guessing we need more members owning them and posting about them. Plus they just came out, add to that the locked bootloaders (...effin Motorola) and we're not going to see much development.

Plus Motorola quietly brought it to the market, with older hardware, and a pricetag that isn't too appealing.

Also the Xyboards are CMDA tabs and not GSM. GSM devices always have more devs and currently with no WiFi version, you are locked into buying from Verizon (for the US that is) for $500 to $600 w/out a contract or $350 to $450 w/ a 2 year. That really really hinders the potential customer base.

I, however, do wish we had a forum for them as I'm really wanting to make the jump on one.
[General Questions and Answers] vassilyk:
Ok, thanks for this reply it makes sense. I will play around and try to find a way to unlock it but I'm not an advanced dev so I might not be very useful on this :)
[General Questions and Answers] robotsforeveryone:
I'm really bummed out about this. I bought one on eBay to skirt around the Verizon contract. It's a really cool tablet. ICS would look great on this thing. It's built really well and it's thin. What a shame that I'll have to flip this thing without ever experiencing its full potential.

But I will be looking out for a forum in the future.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tehgyb:
Hey all,

The Galaxy Nexus runs the same PowerVR SGX540 GPU our phone does.

So, I decided to spend some time doing some research and a ton of trial and error, until finally coming up with a mix between our own drivers and G'nex's drivers, that gave me the best GPU performance I could muster. I've had a jump in framerate and smoother operation, and as is the case with most tweaks, it seems to be getting better and better as the time ticks by.

Flash in CWM, or if you wish, pull the egl file from the zip and push to system/lib then reboot.

Note: The original EGL file from our phone was from Raver's Valhalla Black(So thanks white/raver), and this is still considered a work in progress.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] IDisposable:
Looking at the ZIP, it looks like the only file that is newer is the libGLES_android.so vs. what I have in my bhundven 0.1 kernel. Should I replace JUST that file perhaps?

The other lib*.so files on my phone are 1 August 2008 vs. your zip's 28 February, 2008... which seems wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tehgyb:
Egl.cgl and libGLES_android.so are directly from the gnex. As for the date it may be because i didn't change any code, i found the best results just switching those files.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Vampyrate:
tried downloading directly to phone and it didn't work, going to push through USB now and give it a shot.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] steeleain:
Should I delete the existing egl folder

Before flashing this zip? Or will it simply replace (overwrite) the existing file?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] turtlepa:
This will work with valhalla black edition 1.6 and improve it ? Compatible ? Most tweaks arent for.that rom
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] xolanir:
Will this work with the octane 3.0?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tehgyb:
This will work on any gb rom, but actual increase in performance may vary from rom to rom. I tested with a few gpu testing apps from the market, and antutu, on val black and stock kj6.

The flashing script will take care of everything for you, just flash and enjoy.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eRajesh:
CAn you guys post some screenshots before vs after?

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] neotoky:

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] KotsChopShop:
in the process of trying it.. I think - DL'd and flashed around 4-5 this morning

thing is, I flashed, but the files inside the egl folder still have the same dates (8-01-08)

gonna push the newer cfg and .so then test the results with the 08 files

(my quad b4 scores are a pretty consistent 2430 ~ Antutu; 2907 (Valhalla Black 1.5))
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Racing19969:
Is there any reason this would affect wifi and the market? Ran update on Valhalla Final and then I am unable to load market. When trying to log in error states unable to establish connection. When I remove the files and revert to previous state market works fine.:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tehgyb:
Yeah the time stamp should be different, but it won't be 2012 if that's what you're expecting.. The files are ripped right from the gnex and i didn't edit any code, so...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Lukiqq:
In fact only one file was taken from Galaxy Nexus - libGLES_android.so which is not used when proper GPU drivers are available. The rest is S4G stock.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tehgyb:
...except the egl.cfg that was copied straight from the gnex? Lol maybe they just reused it from somewhere else, but it's in fact right from the gnex.

I'm not claiming to be a dev, or to know everything. I posted this purely because i was playing with it and noticed an increase of framerate on this combination of drivers pulled from a rom on our phone, and the gnex. Figured others might want it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Lukiqq:
Not a problem :) Every better combination deserves praise!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] KotsChopShop:
lol nah man, I wasn't expecting to see anything except the dates indigenous to your files (11-11-11, 2-28-08, 11-30-11, and 2-28-08 x2), but they all remained 8-1-08 after flashing
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mikhail777:
Do you by chance have the original s4g graphics driver to flashto go back to?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tehgyb:
Yeah if it's causing problems let me know and I'll upload something for you, or you can just take the egl file from whatever rom you're using and replace the one in the zip with it... Im not near a computer atm...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tehgyb:
That's super weird, i can't think of any reason that should have any effect on that... :X
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mikhail777:
Is that located in the system/lib? Copy over the whole file from any ROM into your flashable
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tehgyb:
Exactly right man.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jigglynuts:
so I applied this over valblack... it greatly decreased my fps. I replaced the egl file and it jumped right back up.

Not complaining at all. i love flashing and trying new things... just some info

Thanks for the info!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mikhail777:
I'm also not near a computer,I tried overwriting files within root explorer.. I'll try Tmrw on the computer, great find tho. that's what makes this community stronger
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tehgyb:
Weird, guess "results may vary" haha thanks for the input !
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mikhail777:
Here is the original gpudriver file. I copied over egl files from Valhalla black edition, tested and frame rates back to normal! just giving a hand if someone wants to flash over, hope you don't mind.
